Scott McClellan a Creationist |
I had to laugh and wonder whether this clown is a Creationist. The
lies, treason, and utter contempt for honesty is typical Creationism.

Scott McClellan Responds to the DeFrank Story
By Josh Marshall
http://www.tpmcafe.com/story/2005/10/19/123412/02
In this morning's gaggle, Scott McClellan was asked about
today's New York Daily News story by Tom DeFrank, which
alleges that President Bush has known for two years that
Karl Rove was involved in the Plame leak. McClellan tried
to knock the story down but would not deny its accuracy.
Below is a record of the back and forth between McClellan
and members of the White House press corps just after 9:30
AM this morning.
Oct 19, 2005 -- 12:34:12 PM EST
QUESTION: Scott, is it true that the President --
SCOTT McCLELLAN: Welcome back.
QUESTION: Thanks. Is it true that the President slapped Karl
Rove upside the head a couple of years ago over the CIA leak?
SCOTT McCLELLAN: Are you referring to, what, a New York Daily
News report? Two things: One, we're not commenting on an
ongoing investigation; two, and I would challenge the overall
accuracy of that news account.
QUESTION: That's a comment.
QUESTION: Which part of it?
QUESTION: Yes, that is.
QUESTION: Which facts --
SCOTT McCLELLAN: No, I'm just saying -- no, I'm just trying
to help you all.
QUESTION: So what facts are you challenging?
SCOTT McCLELLAN: Again, I'm not going to comment on an ongoing
investigation.
QUESTION: You can't say you're challenging the facts and then
not say which ones you're challenging.
SCOTT McCLELLAN: Yes, I can. I just did. (Laughter.)
....
QUESTION: Scott, let me come back to -- so you say you're
challenging the accuracy, but you won't tell us why. Why would
it be irresponsible for us to report that?
SCOTT McCLELLAN: Report what?
QUESTION: What you said --
SCOTT McCLELLAN: It's up to you what you want to report.
I'm just trying to --
QUESTION: Well, if you want us to say it's inaccurate, you
need to give us a reason why, or it wouldn't be responsible
to report it.
SCOTT McCLELLAN: Well, there's an ongoing investigation, and as
you know, our policy is not to comment on it. So that's where
we are.
QUESTION: You just did.
SCOTT McCLELLAN: Go ahead.
QUESTION: Based on your personal knowledge, based on your
opinion, based on your frustration with the story -- what
caused you to say that?
SCOTT McCLELLAN: No, I mean, I read the story and I didn't
view it as an accurate story.
QUESTION: Why not?
SCOTT McCLELLAN: Again, I'm not going to go any further
than that. There's an ongoing investigation. This is bringing
up matters related to an ongoing investigation.
QUESTION: After you read the story, Scott, did you check
with either the two people mentioned, the President or Rove,
to ask them? Is that what you base --
SCOTT McCLELLAN: I don't have any further comment, Peter.
QUESTION: Well, is that what you base your guidance on, or
is it just -- you know, is it just you're feeling that this
couldn't have happened?
SCOTT McCLELLAN: I stand by what I just said and I'm going
to leave it at that.
....
QUESTION: No, just some details on why you're challenging
the facts of this case by the briefing would be great.
SCOTT McCLELLAN: Because you asked the question.
QUESTION: No, I think we're all interested to know on what
basis you're challenging it.
SCOTT McCLELLAN: Like I said, I'll be glad to talk about the
investigation once it has come to a conclusion, but until
that time --
QUESTION: You're on the record now. We expect you to
really talk about it.
SCOTT McCLELLAN: I'm on the record every day.
QUESTION: Well, I mean, this is really -- you have said you
really are going to go into a deep, profiled explanation --
SCOTT McCLELLAN: No, I said I'd be glad to talk about it.
I don't know all the facts, Helen.
QUESTION: Didn't you say you were going to write a book
about it? (Laughter.)
QUESTION: I mean when it's all over, you said you were
going to give us a total explanation --
SCOTT McCLELLAN: Exclusive interview for John Roberts.
QUESTION: A PowerPoint presentation, the whole thing. (Laughter.)
SCOTT McCLELLAN: No, I'm not committing to that. Welcome
back. I'm glad your gloves are left back there. (Laughter.)
QUESTION: Was that particular story part of what you shared
with the President today from highlights of the news?
SCOTT McCLELLAN: Again, you have my comment on it and
I'll leave it there.

Good grief! It's like a sick and twisted version of "Who's On First?".

Wasn't it great, though? McClellan has an impossible job but then
so does every Creationist. Everyone knows McClellan is lying like
a common crook but they're too polite and professional to just jump
right out and say, "Scott, are you a Creationist?" }:-}
